U11 Girls' B Team V Braeside

BGE hosted our 1st U11 B girls hockey match on Tuesday. The girls had good ball possession and control in the early exchanges, putting Braeside on the back foot. As the 1st quarter went on, both teams had a good number of opportunities but a combination of very good saves from Sita and Katelyn and shots wide meant it stayed 0-0.

Just before half time, Sarah dribbled past several defenders and lifted the ball over the advancing GK - a lovely piece of individual skill to break the deadlock.

As the match went on, Inoa and Savannah gradually started to transfer the ball better using the push pass, getting the ball through to Angel and Sarah. This led to lovely combination play and bagged us 3 more goals.
The final score was BGE 4-0 Braeside and the MVP was our captain Sarah.
